[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 209662, member: 3907"] Very interesting... This ties in somewhat with a conversation I was having with difficult child's psychiatrist today. We were talking about the increase in mental illness the further north you go. I'm just sort of walking this through in my head... Incidences of mental illness are higher in places where there is a lack of exposure to sunlight. This would fit in with rainy climates as well as northern locations with extremely short days in the winter. A number of studies have also shown that people with mental illness seem to have a predisposition to have autistic children. So...kids of people who have mental illness from being in places with no sun...higher incidence of autism? I'm no scientist and I may be way off-base, but it kinda-sorta seems to make sense.
